Agree and he can even play the field and run a little bit. But Hinch might give him little more rope..9 AB's isn't many.

2 - 8 last 10. That really hurts. Some life late tonight at least. I think a roster reset might occur sooner than expected. Long long way to go so “stay calm and carry on “ still applies.

Malloy seems like a five star person but he is limited defensively and so is Jones. Both will be Tiger's history soon.

I have always thought of him as way below average and he does not scoop the ball well either despite what our announcers may say. He never repositions on the bag for better angles. His planted foot is in cement. Yesterday's McGonigles error was a case in point. If Tork slides down a touch to the corner of the bag he can get the bounce throw easier and stay away from the runner. Agree the arm is weak and chasing foul balls is always a challenge. Personally I am ready to put Colt there full time for at least two months and see what we have but then again Colt can't reach the seats and G2 has pointed out he isn't really trying so that hardly makes for a first baseman. I feel bad complaining so soon but "something" is off with this team and the core of Tork-Greene - Carpenter might be the issue.

So is Kevin McGonigle our best hitter already ? Serious question .

I'm not sure but he doesn't hit well with RISP so maybe the pressure is just not his thing. In 2006 Leyland did well putting power bat in the 8th spot so maybe keep him down there.

I agree and maybe as a team we can graduate from needing to piece together imperfect parts to forming a more standard starting five with a bit less reliance on platooning ?

Congratulations to your Alma Mater. Well done....even as a 1980 Spartan graduate living in California it's nice for my hometown State to rule the day. Now on to next year again 🙃

It's Early and the roster will have many variations during the year. We're ok.

Carpenter looks lost. Can't find his hammer. only screws.

Was Anderson pitching all that bad ?

Another sign out depth is legit. Hope Seabold works out. Decent first outing.

Agree. Our arms will be very average but we should catch everything.

That looks familiar
